We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Pentyrch
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Pentyrch conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
